Escape Character Issue

Whenever I attempt to parse a message where there is an escape character "\E\ " specifically at the end of a field, I get an error:

Failed to parse the message with error - Failed to serialize parsed message with error - Failed to serialize the message with error - Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Is this intended behavior? If so it would help me out a lot if it could be explained.

Please provide a sample message

Apologies. I've taken a sample HL7 message from online and inserted "\E\ ".

This message fails to parse. This is an example of what I am dealing with in regards to the messages I've been given.
